Critters worse than this wash up on the shore every spring with the Sargasso weed where I live. I have tried to keep a few of the sargasso critters alive in tanks but they have not lived more than three months. Local damselfish can make it three years.

When the sea level rises and the oceans warm Galveston will make the best diving reef ever in 150 years. There’s already a lot of coral here. The city will make a great reef when it is abandoned. We will hold out to the end. Miami and New Orleans will fall before we do.
